Auto Credit Based on Matthias's Long-Range Jet Aircraft
Here is my first aircraft. have fun with it ;). For take-off detach the stabilizing wheels at 200mph. Then trim the plane by using the VTOL achsle. Data: Stall : 85mph. Highest speed : about 450mph. Travelling speed : 280-320mph. PLEASE RATE!!

114k TMach53 Stars for appearance and speed. Flying was problematic. The wing fuel cells, wing tip cones and the forward sweeping stablizers caused the craft to drift to port constantly. I made modifications to my copy and removed the fuel cells and cones from the wings. I swept the stablizers back and added pylons forward of the roll surfaces and attached the block holding the gears to it. These changes brought the CoM just in front of CoL to allow for auto liftoff at about 200mph. The weight dropped to 9788 and fuel to 754. The drifting stopped and was able to achieve level cruising at 88% power and 650mph. I'm not unhappy with your design, it is a good looking plane. When it comes to aircraft with huge wing spans, balance and a "less-is-more" strategy is crucial. Good job, NanoGamesTV!9.7 years ago
